Valuing Diversity and Dignity at Work

VALUING DIVERSITY

Statement

Digme Fitness is committed to valuing diversity and seeks to provide all staff with the opportunity for employment, career and personal development on the basis of ability, qualifications and suitability for the work as well as their potential to be developed into the job role.

We believe that people from different backgrounds can bring fresh ideas, thinking and approaches which makes the way work is undertaken more effective and efficient.

The Company will not tolerate direct or indirect discrimination against any person on grounds of age, disability, gender / gender reassignment, marriage / civil partnership, pregnancy / maternity / paternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation whether in the field of recruitment, terms and conditions of employment, career progression, training, transfer or dismissal.

It is also the responsibility of all staff in their daily actions, decisions and behaviour to endeavour to promote these concepts, to comply with all relevant legislation and to ensure that they do not discriminate against colleagues, clients, suppliers or any other person associated with the Company.

DIGNITY AT WORK

Statement

The Company believes that the working environment should at all times be supportive and create an environment that promotes dignity and respect for all individuals. If a complaint of harassment is brought to the attention of management, it will be investigated promptly and appropriate action will be taken.

Types of Harassment

Harassment can be defined as conduct, which is unwanted and offensive and affects the dignity of an individual or group of individuals.

Sexual harassment is defined as unwanted conduct of a sexual nature or other conduct based on sex, affecting the dignity of women and men at work. This can include unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct. People can be subject to harassment on a wide variety of grounds including:

- race, ethnic origin, nationality or skin colour

- gender or sexual orientation

- religious or political convictions

- willingness to challenge harassment, leading to victimisation

- disabilities, sensory impairments or learning difficulties

- status as ex-offenders

- age

- real or suspected infection with a blood borne virus (e.g. AIDS/HIV)

- membership of a trade union or activities associated with membership

 

What should I do if subjected to Harassment?

If you feel you are being harassed in any way, you are strongly encouraged to seek early advice/support from management or any ED group member. You should also keep a written record detailing the incidents of harassment and any requests made to the harasser to stop. This written record should be made as soon as possible after the events giving rise to concern and should include dates, times, places and the circumstances of what happened. The Company has a formal procedure for dealing with these issues which you can obtain from any EDG representative.

 

REPORT & SUPPORT

Acts of harassment, discrimination or hate are never ok. You can report something anonymously (EDG representative will not divulge your personal details unless you give us permission to do so), or report something and get support/advice from a member of the EDG team.

If you would like to get in touch about any of these issues, please email EDG@digmefitness

HEALTH COMMITMENT STATEMENT

Your health is your responsibility. The management and staff of Digme are dedicated to helping you take every opportunity to enjoy the facilities that we offer. With this in mind, we have carefully considered what we can reasonably expect of each other.

Our commitment to you

1. We will respect your personal decisions, and allow you to make your own decisions about what exercise you can carry out. However, we ask you not to exercise beyond what you consider to be your own abilities.

2. We will make every reasonable effort to make sure that our equipment and facilities are in a safe condition for you to use and enjoy.

3. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure that our staff are qualified to the fitness industry standards as set out by the Register of Exercise Professionals.

4. If you tell us that you have a disability which puts you at a substantial disadvantage in accessing our equipment and facilities, we will consider what adjustments, if any, are reasonable for us to make.

Your commitment to us

1. You should not exercise beyond your own abilities. If you know or are concerned that you have a medical condition which might interfere with you exercising safely, before you use our equipment and facilities you should get advice from a relevant medical professional and follow that advice.

2. You should make yourself aware of any rules and instructions, including warning notices, and follow them. Exercise carries its own risks. You should not carry out any activities, which you have been told are not suitable for you.

3. You should let us know immediately if you feel ill when using our equipment or facilities. Our staff members are not qualified doctors, but there will be a person available who has first aid training.

4. If you have a disability, you must follow any reasonable instructions to allow you to exercise safely.

Limitation of liability

By attending classes, events, activities, and using the studio facilities and equipment, you hereby acknowledge on behalf of yourself, your heirs, personal representatives and/or assigns, that there are certain inherent risks and dangers in the strenuous nature of Digme classes. You acknowledge that you have voluntarily chosen to participate in intense physical exercise. You hereby agree to assume full responsibility for any and all injuries or damage, which are sustained or aggravated by you in relation to the use of equipment and/or studio facilities, and release, indemnify, and hold harmless Digme.
